Summary

The Earth is changing. The alien invasion brought social upheaval, advanced technology, and an armada of peacekeeping robots. But Alan, a college student pursuing a now-useless degree, cares little about all of this. He has only one thing on his mind: the Game.

A fully immersive virtual reality, the Game appears to be a major part of the invading civilization. Alan can't wait to play, recklessly diving into the digital universe. Soon though, Alan realizes the Game is anything but simple, and the stakes are higher than he ever imagined.

Straight onto the next thank you!

Extremely accessible (not really a gamer), well paced, expanding the richly fabricated world minute by minute. I've seen comparisons to Ready Player One, I enjoyed this a lot more and it is quite different. I'm in for the series, thank you.

Excellent story with a different sci-fi idea

Was mot sure what to expect from this book as I bought it due to its narrative. I can I loved it from the first chapter. Well read by Nick Podehl I loved its originality, so hoping there will be many more books to follow.

If you like MMOs, this one is for you

The narration is outstanding, and the story feels like you are just playing a game:)

Fantastic book, and series overall.

I'm listening 3rd time to it. Intriguing world while still being quite realistic. Fast action makes it very enjoyable, not having to wait several chapters of dull conversations for an important action twist. A must listen to any lit-rpg fans.

Simply good and enjoyable

I bought this audiobook for listening to more works from the narrator, who did not disappoint me as usual. The story was quite enjoyable and I'll certainly listen to the next book as well.
